Happy Birthday

Papa,

Happy birthday! I am so glad you are my grandfather. I’ve been learning a new word every day, just like you advised, and I did find out where goldfish came from. I recently found the International Cloud Atlas, which I think you’d enjoy. I still remember the binary you taught me on your keyset when I was three years old, and I still use it. I love you, and happy birthday!
